“…How does the mind engage with abstract painting? This is a question which has interested me as long as I have been painting. I see painting functioning as a psychic screen, onto which consciousness is projected. This outward projection constitutes a self-organizing map, and in this it becomes a “representation” of selfhood. A painting is a diagram of subjectivity which interacts with the viewer, and through its outward projection of meaning becomes organized as a subject.
Each of my paintings expresses a new possibility, an opening into a new direction where meaning is continually at play and in flux. The most interesting pieces are those in which something has been left unresolved; its reason for being has not been entirely spelled out for the viewer or even for the artist. In the painting’s openness it becomes a reflection of the self; the meaning of the painting unfolds in its unspoken dialogue with the viewer…” (Artist Jessica Snow)
